Cancun: Part Cinco

Saturday was another chillax day. Mommalove, Lisa and I went and got our manicures, pedicures and 25 min massage. It was WONDERFUL....so wonderful, I forgot to take pictures.

After our pampering we met up with the guys and kids at the pool. The girls were just in heaven, FINALLY getting to just swim for hours! Momma and the boy. I call this the "Before and After Picture" haha. Sorry....but it's true. I love before's AND after's.
The lady behind the camera...Let me tell you, those sunglasses left an AWKWARD suntan line...thank goodness it's faded a bit.

Mmmm....sun. Aunt Lisa and the girls....playing Ring Around the Rosies. (over and over and over and over again)
After resting a bit from a long morning of swimming, we headed out for dinner. It's the hardest thing to seat 11 people, let alone all together...and the hostesses at the resorts wouldn't seat us till we were ALL there....it got a bit frustrating, but we finally got seated at the Italian restaurant, yum. I had the Filet Mignon and it was divine! yum.
I love this picture...
Sunday was a short day, since we all were flying home. We were able to eat some breakfast together, then catch our bus to the airport.
I was amazed that the girls enjoyed each other's company like 75 maybe 80% of the time. Lots of time it was like this, though:
But others, there was no recognition of personal space.
He's crying behind the glasses....so sad. Don't. want. to. leave. :(


Zonked out for the entire flight, it was bliss (well, for me, sitting over on the other side with a row to myself.) It was a decent flight....only 30 minutes delayed this time...VivaAerobus....don't ever use this airline! Bleh. They did a SECOND purse/bag search before getting on the plane and took our water and juice we had JUST BOUGHT. Who does that?! Punks.
Poor Aube...well, both girls. Bella did a bellyflop out of a bus door and got a big ole bruise on her knee (we were lucky that was it). Aube got this shiner falling in the shower. It was easier to throw them in the shower than to fill up the jacuzzi for bathtime everyday. Esp if I wanted to just rinse off the sand. But of course, I turn my back, Aube slips and bashes her head into the seat in the shower, yikes! THEN....the next day, she collides with Rylee's head and it leaves a mark on the other eye :(. Poor kid. And I get those "why do you beat your kid" looks.
As soon as we got back to the hotel in Austin, James made a soda run. Thank goodness for Jack in the Box being next door! Aube got her "orange" fix.
And James and I got our DR PEPPER fix! We went ALL week without Dr Pepper, since the resorts only carried Coke products. I don't mind Coke here and there, but oh MAN did that Dr Pepper taste good.
In Heaven.
Our flight got in around 4 in the afternoon, so we had time to play in Austin. We did what we love best, ate steak! Ribeye steaks that were delish! Then went and saw Monsters vs Aliens, which was SUCH a good movie!! If you haven't taken your toddler/kiddos to go see it, GO! Aube sat thru the whole thing, which is a minor miracle.
Monday we drove back home! Yay!
The end. Ü
